Tommy Lee Jones is confirmed to play an unknown part in Captain America, and he’ll be joined by Dominic Cooper, who will play a young Howard Stark in the WWII set film. Also, those Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye rumor won’t go away. In non-casting news, DC Entertainment is gearing up for a slew of comic book movies including Flash, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman. Hollywood DeathsGary Coleman passed away on Friday at the age of 42 from a brain hemorrhage. He was the star of the 70s and 80s hit TV show Diff’rent Strokes, playing Arnold Jackson and making the phrase “What you talkin’ about, Willis?” famous. Also, Dennis Hopper, 74, died this morning after a long struggle with prostate cancer. The actor has a long and accomplished resume, and has received two Academy Award nominations, one for Easy Rider in 1970 another for Hoosiers in 1987. In Other NewsOn Thursday, Alice in Wonderland became only the sixth movie to ever make $1 Billion at the box office. The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is being made by Platinum Dunes, which might be a bad thing given their track record. It looks like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley will be replacing Megan Fox in Transformers 3.
